"REAL UNDERGROUND MUSIC. Foot-tapping country
& western laced with rock and jazz." - The New
York Post, NYC, NY

"Everybody's talking about this ultracool,
hillbilly cowboy singer from Quebec who keeps traveling
back and forth across Canada singing his songs in little
joints & coffee houses, collecting new friends &
fans - wherever he goes. From what I can tell so far, he
seems to be the real McCoy, A delightful mix of Hank
Williams, rural rap, & appalachian stringband all
rolled into one tight, entertaining package." - Tom
Wilson, Jackdaws Pub, CALGARY, AB

Petunia's music is infectious, his singing ranges
from the most delicate you've ever heard to the most
powerful, often within a single song...hillbilly-flavoured-swing
inflected ragtime goodtime, thunderously rolling
one-of-a-kind show.

He has a huge repertoire of music to draw from but
fans continue to cry out for the Petunia originals. He
is an undiscovered Canadian treasure that will soon join
the pantheon of legendary performers from north of the
49th.

Petunia has 7 CDs out, including a vinyl LP & 45
r.p.m., with more to come.. His latest release (also out
on vinyl) has been winning rave reviews.

"Impressive stuff - this may well be the
Vancouver roots music release of the year" Al
MacInnis - The Georgia Straight, Vancouver, BC,
(Nov. 2011)

Al Mader, as you may well know, is the humbly
brilliant slam Poet and washtub bass playing, Minimalist
Jug Band.....a solo act of "inimitable
beatnik punkabilly."

It's hard to tell if Al is singing from memory or
just making things up as he goes along, but it doesn't
seem to matter. Full of parodies and puns, his
joke-riddled rhymes are nothing short of
knee-slapping;

"If life is a river, then I should be dammed."
This is the stuff Dan Mangan would appreciate, as does
the audience.

Her adventurous sounds connect you to her journey,
rolling with the steady pace of a train down the tracks
and rocking like your favorite juke joint on a Friday
night. Her steady and soulful voice tells the tales of
life with beauty, strength and weariness, and an
ever-present sense of excitement.

Sarah has been spreading this excitement throughout
North America since 2006, marked with such successes as
having her music featured in the Lions Gate feature film
"Cabin Fever 2", opening for pop sensation
Kate Voegele at Toronto's Opera House in 2009, and
receiving recognition for her song Then Run Away, being
named Best Folk Song by Toronto Exclusive magazine in
2009.

She released her debut EP Love is for Pussies in 2007,
with Juno-award winning producer John Switzer, and is
now releasing her new full-length album Mayflower;

Mayflower is a powerful collection of alt-folk music
that forays into country and rock rhythms, its driving
acoustic folk is showcased in such tracks as How Good
You Are and Gravity, and the steel and electric guitars
make their mark on If This is a Sin and What To Bring.
Themes of travel, luck and love affairs are dispersed
amid the collection, ranging from edgy and independent,
to vulnerable, sweet and romantic. Accompanying the
Mayflower release is a video for the album's single How
Good You Are, thanks to a grant from Videofact, released
in February 2011. Like the livin' lovin' road warrior
her music atones to, Burton hit the road with the new
album in February 2011 in western Canada, and will be
crossing the Canadian countryside and into the US
through spring and summer in support of her new
release.

Born in Ottawa, Sarah Burton has considered many a
Canadian city home through her life, feeling most at
home when on the move. Her career travels have seen her
play NXNE, Canadian Music Week, Winterfolk
(Toronto), We Are Many Festival (Saskatoon), the Brandon
Folk Festival, Alberta's North Country Fair and British
Columbia's Music on the Mountain, in addition to
the many live music venues across the country. She's
enjoyed radio play on many stations across Canada
including the CBC and into the US, being heard in Los
Angeles and Las Vegas. Classically trained on the piano
at the Royal Conservatory of Music, Burton didn't make
the connection from classical music to rock until she
was introduced to the sounds of Tori Amos by a piano
teacher, and later discovered her fathers old Spanish
guitar, kicking off the songwriting history of the
inimitable Sarah Burton.
